Publisher's Summary
Jovita dreamed of wearing pants like her brothers, Ramón and Luciano.
She hated the way the big skirts that Abuela made her wear tangled around her legs as she scaled the tallest mesquite tree in Rancho Palos Blancos. She wanted to ride her horse Morongo and feel the wind curl her face into a smile.
When her father and brothers joined the Cristeros War to fight for the right to practice religion freely, she wanted to help. Though she wasn’t allowed to fight, that didn’t stop her from learning the terrain and observing how her father strategized. Then tragedy struck, compelling Jovita to cut her hair, put on pants, and continue the fight. Disguised as a man, she commanded a battalion who followed her without question.
Jovita Wore Pants is the story of a trailblazing revolutionary, passionately told by Américas Award winner, Aida Salazar.
